wires" Half the complaints they have to

or from burning the candle at both ends.
A curious case occurred recently in the
experience of friend of mine. A patient
of his, a city man, who has been under

came to him one Sunday morning in a

so bad as that" "But it is. felt I've been
going ever so long, you know; and it hap
pened this morning. You take the Bantam,
don't your Yes, here is last weeks copy.

all that"

Canadian Opinion of Railroad Legis-
Iation In This Country.

BANGOR, Nov. 2S.-In August, 1886, the
Dominion Government appointed Sir Alex
ander t. Gait, Collingwood Schrieber, chief
engineer of government railways; George
Moberly, E. r. Burpee, vice president of the
New Brunswick Railway, and Thomas e.
Kinney, commissioners to make inquiries
and report as to the advisability Of consti-
tuting court of railway commissioners, to
have jurisdiction in cases in dispute between
railway companies as to their traffic arrange
ments,k kfor the adjustment of rates for pas
sengers and freight, regulating the crossing
of tracks and construction therefor, and all
questions arising between railway compa-
nies and individuals. The commissioners
have held meetings in all the principal cities
of Canada, and subcommittee, consisting
of Messrs. Burpee and Moberly, were ap-
pointed to Investigate the working of the
United States Interstate law, and the laws
regulating the boards of railroad commits
sioners of the different States. Messrs Bur-
pee and Moberly have visited st. Paul, Min
neapolis, Madison, Milwaukee, Chicago, De-
troit, Albany, New York, New Haven and
Boston for the purpose of investigating
these matters. Mr.. Burpee has acted as
chairman of the commission. He left Ban
gor for Montreal this morning, where he has
notified the members of the commission to
meet for the purpose of agreeing upon re-
port to be submitted to the government He
told Bangor Commercial reporter that the
subcommittee look upon the Massachusetts
laws regulating railroads through a board of
railroad commissioners with more favor
than those of any of the other States, and
the commissioners say that even if they
should report in favor of law similar to
the United States Interstate law, that they
will take stand against the adoption of any
part of the fourth section, which relates to
long and short hauls.

NEGLECTED. BY CONGRESS-.
How the Brazil Steamship Company
Lost Its Mail Contract.

New YORK, Nov. 2S. H X. Thurber, the
president of the United States and Brazil
Steamship Company. takes philosophically
the action of the Argentine Republic in en-
tering into a contract with the Huston
Steamship Company, of Liverpool, fora line
Of swift steamers between this city and
Buenos Ayres. He said with reference to
the endeavor of his own company to estab-
lish line of steamers to carry mails be-
tween this city and Buenos Ayres:
"We certainly made the endeavor and we
have been passed over The Argent inc
Republic treated us nicely, They gave us
contract for monthly mail service. agreeing
to pay us annually 100000 for ten years,
and it was left open for several months. We
could not see our way to carry 1t out, unless
our own government would do something.
But Congress did not carry out the recon-
mendations of President Cleveland and mat
ters drifted along. Now the Argentine Re-
public has large scheme en- hand, cOntem-
plating lines of steamers not only to this
country, but to Europe. and it guarantees
the Huston Company five per cent. interest
on e225O,000, that is, on the cost of steamers
TO that amount. This is, of course, guaran-
tee to stockholders of at least five per cent.
on their investment, but think the COM
pany will not have to pay it after the first
year. The Argentine Republic Is very wise
in this matter, as it only guarantees to pay
if a certain amount is not earned, and there
seems to be little doubt that it will be. The
Huston Company got its contract fol a
European line first and then for one to this
city.
"The reason why we could not make the
contract was the need of legislation. The
old law of 1858 is still in force, which pro-
vides for sea and inland postage only There
has been no legislation since with regard to
carrying mails On the ocean. Congress
should provide for carrying the mails on the
ocean in the same way as on land, on the
pays about 81 mile to the Hamburg line,
say $1,000 foo carrying the mails 5000 miles
to two ports. We get, say $500 trip, carr
rying mails $500 miles to seven ports. This
are to blame that we have not changed it,"
